Stock Show!!

So Mikayla has gone to the Stock Show every year of her life (a total of 3 times now). This year was the best. She pet cows and goats and pigs. She said "Yee-haw" when she saw a Cowboy, and clapped when the Cowboys stayed on for 8 seconds. She got worried when the horses fell down( 2 times this happened and one of the times it was a miracle that it did not kill the cowboy) and when a cowboy roped a cow so hard that he had to be carried out on a stretcher. Her favorite part was what she thought was Mikayla service. Every time one of the vendors came by yelling; "Popcorn, Peanuts, Snow cones," or even "Ice cold beer get your ice cold beer here" Mikayla thought that it was for her and she would say "Mommy I want that" we got her cotton candy, and she did not like that. She wanted peanuts but our friend Jaden is allergic and then she got a snow cone and ate that so fast that she kept holding her head but refused to take a break.

All in all it was a great time. Her and Jaden loved cheering on the Cowboys and the cows! They really liked the motorcycle act and the laser show. Seth is turning into his sister more and more, he slept through almost the whole thing I guess he was awake for more than Mikayla was he even watched the horses and was talking to them. Mikayla's first show she slept through everything even the guns shots at the beginning of the show!

I should have something to say....

I don't know what it is about today but I have nothing to say. I

haven't had anything to say all week:( I have no cute stories about my kids, well at least none that I can think of. I have been potty training Mikayla and yesterday our friend Sierra and Jaden came over and we had a potty party. It was pretty funny, Jaden is 2 months older than Kayla and she decided that she needed to go potty. So she strips down and sits down. By the way our potty is in the living room so that it is a constant reminder. So she is sitting waiting and Jaden comes over and says "push your penis down Kayla" Mikayla looks at him and is really confused. He looks at her and gets really confused and asks " Where is your penis?" I tell him that Mikayla is a girl and she doesn't have one. So then he looks at me and asks if I have one and I tell him I am a girl and I don't have one either and then we had to go over all of the people we know and say if they are a boy or a girl. I think he has the hang of it! Then for the rest of the night they took turns going potty. The good news is neither of them had an accident. It was a good night and then this morning Kayla woke up and said she had to go potty. I can't wait until she is out of diapers. It will be nice to not have to spend $40 every two weeks on diapers for the both of them!

I am so tired this week. I think everything is catching up to me now. I just want a good nights sleep. Seth is still waking up at least once a night. Billy has been really good at getting him and feeding him, but I still hear it and it always seems to be when I am in my deepest sleep. And then it takes me a while to get back to sleep. Waking up at 6:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays is not really my style. I am not a morning person and really neither is Mikayla.

Well for not having a lot to say I guess I did. I know I will have more to tell after this weekend because we are going to the Stock Show tomorrow and Seth is getting baptized on Sunday!

Have a great weekend everyone!!

Late night diaper changes that go bad!

So last night somehow Seth's diaper was not fastened all the way so when he peed it managed to cover himself from the waste up. Well Billy got up to feed him (which was really nice because I have been sick) And I heard a lot of noise and it was not happy. I heard Billy yelling "why" and Seth crying. It took him 10 minutes to get back into our room. I didn't want to see what was going on because I was afraid that Billy was throwing a fit because he really wanted me to take over. So he comes in and is telling me what happened and I got up to go change the sheets because he made it sound like Seth was almost drowning in his own pee. I get into Seth's room and the sheets are still on the mattress and I ask where did he pee? Billy yells back "ALL OVER, "I said all over where and he says his head. So I laugh and and say at least we didn't have to change the sheets.

The reason we didn't have to change the sheets was because I had a extra spit-up pad under his head for the reason that if he spit-up in the middle of the night I would not have to change the sheets. Who knew it would work for late night diaper changes that go wrong.

Maybe I shouldn't take up new sports...

What was I thinking???

Monday I went skiing for the first time in

5 years and 2 babies. Of course I took a blue run first and all

I could think of was " How am I going to change diapers with a broken arm or how am I going to

go up the stairs with a broken leg?"

I made it down, every time I started to go too fast I would make my self fall. After that I took only Green runs. I did much better except for one turn, my ski's crossed and down I went. At least I have this cool bruise to show for it!! It only hurts when I touch it, so it is better than a broken bone!
